Hello Warriors,

I need a little help regarding Amazon.com. I can't afford doing investment for making website and add amazon on it. I am looking for free ways. I joined amazon 2 years back and till now I didnt earn a single dollar.
I am using Hubpages for amazon, but the problem is till now I didnt earn from it.
What should I do to make earnings from amazon, free ways?
Really, its going damn hard to me to earn from it. I am thinking to quit amazon. Is that will be good?
Any advice for me, like free resources, without investment?
Waiting for the responses from experience one's..
Thanks in advance......

    Amazon is hard to earn from, I don't make anything from them after many years.

    I recently reviewed a WSO that had a very smart way of making money from Amazon using you yube. Also I know Tiffany Dow had good success promoting physical product using squidoo lenses.

    To be honest I do think you will struggle to make a decent income without any sort of investment as you will have to wait a bit to get paid by Amazon and so you wont be able to plough profits back in.

    The point Im trying to make is if you dont have any investment at all try and choose something to do that offers quicker payment or even instant payment such as offering a service.

    Yes, I am also doing that too but just depending on one earning source can't work, I have to try more things. Well, I can't afford investment at this time were I am a struggler marketer. And thats the reason I am looking for some free ways..

    You can use blogger. Select a product and put the product name in the blog url. Make a few keyword optimized pages with the page for the main Keyword on the homepage. Don´t put any Amzon widgets on the blog at that moment. Start making backlinks, like blog comments. If your blog doesn´t contain anything commercial, your comments get approved much easier. Up to a 100% success rate. Also write articles and make all possible backlinks. Once you are at the first page, put Amazon widgets on the pages and you should make some money. Repeat the process as often as necessary to achieve your goals.

    I have never made money from Amazon - it is best avoided. To make any money at all requires either too much work for so little money, or a huge investment in advertising - again for little money it is not worth it.

      Really now...

      I'm on track to my first $xx,xxx month with Amazon. Granted, it took me almost a year to get there.

      Way I see it - that amount of money after my first year promoting Amazon products = awesome. It looks to soon overtake my main source of income, which is funny, because I spend a lot less time on my Amazon sites than on the other business.

      After the initial six months or so, those Amazon sales just keep on getting better and better without me lifting a finger. :p

      It does require a fair amount of work to get it all going.

      Definitely a very stable, long term method of making money online.

    I use hubpages, other similar sites as well as my own sites. I have about 250 hubs and my amazon earnings from them is about $1,000 per month. Maybe you are doing it wrong?

    I think Amazon is not for me. Till now, I haven't earned a penny from Amazon. I promote Amazon Products and Clickbank products both with article marketing, but I only make money from Clickbank.

    I like Amazon and make decent money from them for the amount of work I do.

    In the end, though it's all about getting targetted traffic to your offer - you can sell just about anything if you can get the buyers there. So, to say that Amazon doesn't work, or Clickbank doesn't work etcc... is really not right. It's your promotional methods that don't work.

    How much traffic do your hubs get? Do you write articles to drive traffic or use some other method? Are your articles preselling the product?

    It may also depend on what you are trying to sell, how you are trying to sell it and to whom you are trying to sell it to. For example a 90 year old woman from Saginaw, Michigan probably isn’t going to buy a set of power tools or something to spice up her love life. Here is how I make money with Amazon.

    1. Selling products geared toward particular interest groups to people who have those interest. For example sell products related to woodworking to people who are interested and involved in woodworking.

    2. Selling products that offer a solution to common problems that people face but are too embarrassed to seek professional help for. The new genre of pornography and sexual addiction/dysfunction fall into this category.

    3. In general selling products that allow me to help myself by in some way shape or form helping others to help themselves.

    4. Something else that works for me is setting up a blog designed to sell my own crafts and also selling some affiliate products related to crafts on the side. I make money either way.

    Just a quick thought on this topic. I know most people who teach affiliate marketing through niche websites say that each niche (or product, depending on what system you use) should have it's own domain name, with it's own content, and ultimately it's own home on the 'net.

    But what about setting everything up under one umbrella? In this case, let's use Amazon as an example. What about setting up a domain in the vein of "greatproductreviews.com" or even a brand, like Google or Yahoo, and then creating one (eventually) massive site of all the reviews you do? Yes, there may be some randomness to the product selection, again depending on what system you use, but categorizing can help this, no?

    The theory here being that, if this is what you're banking your business's future on, you could become the "one-stop shop" for product reviews.

    Thoughts?

      *brand*productreviews.com is a niche, just like anything else. If you do your keyword research right, I see no reason why this wouldn't work.

      greatproductreviews.com <-- I wouldn't do it, but I'm sure there are peopel who are very successful doing a similar thing.

      Nah... Start your own eCommerce site(-s) if you manage to get to that volume.
